Abstract excerpt
hPFN1 mutations including C71G cause ALS by gain of toxicity but the mechanism still remains unknown. Stress granules (SGs) are formed by phase separation of the prion-like domain (PLD) of RNA-binding proteins including FUS, whose inclusion was also associated with ALS. C71G-hPFN1 triggers seed-dependent co-aggregation with FUS/TDP-43 to manifest the prion-like propagandation but its biophysical basis remains...
